Abstract:
The successful results of the treatment using a double crown denture have been reported in several papers for some of the few remaining teeth in patient. In particular, double crown dentures may be an alternative to treatment in cases where the periodontal status is poor and clasp type removable partial dentures are inappropriate (crown/root ratio > 1). In this case, the patient visited clinic with a chief complaint of difficulty in mastication due to loss of posterior teeth and overall teeth mobility. After teeth with severe periodontitis were extracted, treatment plan of mandible is Kennedy class I removable partial denture (RPD) and treatment plan of maxilla is hybrid telescopic double crown RPD with a friction pin. Patient is well adapted after the prosthetic treatment and we report due to achieving satisfactory results in pronunciation, mastication, retention and aesthetics.
